I would check with them. Go to Music123 and add it to your cart to show the final price with the BTS special. It'll show $30 off. I ordered it Monday early. I'll have it when I get back to NY on Thursday. I'm having it delivered to my in-laws since I didn't know when it would be delivered and I won't be back from Ohio until late Thursday early Friday. Will be working on my space upstairs, going to move all my computers up there along with my guitars and amps._________________2.5 GHZ i5 Mac Minu 8Gb Ram

I picked up the Dano '63 today. I've taken over the upstairs, it used to be my daughter's room until she moved into the room on the first floor. I'll be moving all my stuff up there shortly and my wife will be using the basement as her office. I moved the guitars and my laptop accessories already.

It looks and sounds great. They could have done a bit better on the vinyl strip but I can deal. It's a little yellowish, but it adds to the vintage feel of the guitar. I moved everything upstairs which will be my office/music room._________________2.5 GHZ i5 Mac Minu 8Gb Ram

I dug out my tele a few weeks ago and started getting back into it, I bought it new in 89 and it's pretty much been in the case since. I had a couple of guitars but only kept the tele (usa model an' all that).

My amp had packed up and I picked up one of those Vox Amplugs(ac30 model)- Whoah! Amp tech certainly has moved on in 20 years

It's cool that you are getting back into playing. I'm kinda getting back into it myself. I took a break for a few years. I also picked up Logic Express a few weeks ago to spark the recording side of things. It's been fun learning my way around the app.

That's a nice little tube amp man. I would probably go with one over the Blues Junior in a hearbeat, and this is coming from a Fender guy. I love my Hot Rod Deluxe to death. It's so warm and bright. I wouldn't want to lug it around though.

I think the recent models are all that and a bag of chips. Look at my first picture in the thread.

Is your Tele a MIM or MIJ?

My tele is an American (serial E806XXX), and sunburst like yours but with a maple neck -I'll stick a pic up later when I get home
I had a quick blast on a friends "Jimmie Vaughan" Strat MIM which was sweeet! a great sound with the rewired tone pot or "grease bucket" circuit.
Apparently it's the only MIM Artist series and given the price it seems to be a bit of a bargain.

The Deluxe and Artist series MIM guitars are great values. I think they're even nicer than the Highway One series, which are basically in the same price range. I bought my nephew a Highway One Tele and returned it for a Nashville Tele MIM this summer. It's a really nice guitar with three pickups (Tex-Mex Tele-Strat-Tele) and the 5-way "Strat-o-Tone" switch. The things also cost me two less bills, but who's counting?

Well, I switched jobs a few years ago and got busy with building RC planes in my spare time.

My band playing days are well behind me now, but I'm back playing for myself. I'm also teaching my 17-year-old nephew how to play and record, so that's going to be rewarding as well. Who knows, maybe he'll become famous one day and take me out on the road.
